Permissions [SOLVED]

Hi Steve,

If i’ve given a user some perms in permissions.ini (in this instance i’ve extended READ ONLY to allow some writing (similar to EDIT but a few less perms)) Is there a way I can stop them writing to a particular table?

i.e. A user called User1 has (for this example) EDIT permissions. They can edit all tables by default…but I don’t want them to be able to create new users so I want to restrict their access to the User table to READ ONLY (this way, at least they can still view their profile, etc).

Any ideas?

Just found this: - http://xataface.com/wiki/fieldname__permissions Is this what I need to be using?

Thanks

Paul

I’ve accomplished it with this in the table delegate class for “Users”

Code: Select all

//Restrict Non-admin users to read only on the Users table function getPermissions(){     $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();     $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();     if ( $user and  $user->val('Role') != 'ADMIN' ){     return Dataface_PermissionsTool::READ_ONLY(); } }
